The San Francisco-based interior designer, party planner, and nightlife impresario offers a new take on how to display a collection of Christmas cards.

I've always loved getting mounds of holiday cards. On top of being delighted to see what folks are up to (and who's grown an astonishing amount over the year!), it's also fun to see what the creative folks have come up with. This year I got an actual musical card complete with not one but two performances by the family quartet. Rather than leave all these glorious cards stacked in a pile on the kitchen counter I prefer to to use them to adorn my holiday decor. This year I took various forms of garland—everything form a simple gold chain to sparkling twig branches—and attached my trove of holiday cards. They dangle from the chandelier, the tree, and even the Christmas beast! Now I'm constantly reminded of friends and family and it truly does bring joy to the season.
